.

"Oh, my dear, is there any question for this gentleman who has traveled here?"

The proprietress was intrigued, winking at him with her chin in her hands, which in fact happened quite often, especially when he was quietly somewhere indoors.

Because Bill usually wears black-rimmed sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat on the street, and walks in the shadows in a low-key manner, even if someone inadvertently spots this strange man, he will quickly lose his whereabouts.

And when he took off his hat and sunglasses, and stayed there quietly to think or chat, he unconsciously revealed a mysterious charm, as if all the artistic temperament that could be described was concentrated in this young body.

His pale golden eyes exude melancholy, his lips represent sensuality and coldness, and the messy brown hair tied behind his head shows his uninhibited in silence!

Including the deep voice, the slightly raised corners of the mouth, and the neat and neat dressing style that transcends the times, all show his maverick!

And his shadow, so lonely......

Big-minded people usually don't refrain from paying attention to the feelings emanating from another person, but sensitive and amorous people are always full of yearning for someone who is full of artist's temperament.

At this moment in this hotel, the proprietress was obviously attracted by Bill's strange aura.

The innkeeper didn't care, all he could see was the mechanical watch that Bill was wearing on his wrist, and the value of this watch was almost a third of that of the small hotel!

And he's just a traveler, so there's no way his wife was kidnapped by a man of unknown origin, right?

"I was a little interested in what my boss said about the massive witch hunt that broke out all over the world more than a decade ago, because I was very young and no one in my family would take the initiative to tell me about these things that should not be known by children. ”

"And it seems that the Holy See of Oude has not preached the great actions of more than ten years ago, which is what puzzles me more, as far as I know, in today's society, even if the Holy See of Oude only exterminates an illegal cult, it will say it loudly in public. ”

Bill finally finished his breakfast, and the delicious dairy products and vegetables made him feel the meaning of life, but just to live and satisfy himself.

Whether it's appetite, surname, or curiosity.

"I didn't expect you to want to know about these unwanted pasts, after all, in those years......"

The proprietress opened her mouth in surprise and paused again, as if to think about what to say, and the people in the inn had eaten breakfast and checked out, leaving only Bill still sitting.

The innkeeper looked at the mechanical clock on the wall and began to calculate the time, and if Bill didn't ask to check out within the next hour and a half, he could deduct part of the deposit as a late fee.

So the innkeeper didn't drive Bill away, and didn't even care about the hostess's gaze on him, anyway, he was just a traveler and couldn't take his beautiful wife with him.

In the face of Bill's sincere question, the proprietress casually brushed her beautiful long hair that shone in the sun, and slowly told her memories and questions.

"It was a crazy time, and even though I was only ten years old at the time, there was no doubt that it left an indelible memory in my heart. ”

"But why are you interested in those things, according to the Holy See of Ode, mortals should not take the initiative to snoop or actively look for things about witches, isn't it good to let the past pass?"

In response to the hostess's question, Bill had already figured out how to answer it that didn't seem so abrupt and strange, and what he said was half-true.

"Beautiful lady, I am actually a writer, and I usually make a living mainly by writing reasoning, and occasionally I write plays and sell them to theaters. ”

"In recent months, I have received news from the grape that a certain theater has issued a solicitation of rewards in the literary world, intending to invest in the filming of a big play by the Ode-Holy See......"

In fact, the play is not a theater investment, but a plan of the new government, which intends to attract the attention of the members of the Oude Holy See in all aspects, in order to reduce the attention of the faithful to coal mining.

The old-fashioned method of sycophancy, always simple and practical, was learned by Bill during a casual conversation with Charles on his second boat trip to Glicklandy.

"The theater has invested in this play, in which the Holy See is the protagonist, of course, to celebrate the great contribution of the Holy See to the maintenance of world peace. ”

"Of course, whether we are small people like us, whether we use it as a prop for the grand Holy See, or let ordinary people better understand the evil wizard, this show will definitely be a big hit. ”

"It's just that I'm too young, and I can't find any books that record these things, so I can only go out and look around, hoping to collect stories related to the Holy See. ”

Bill's answer sounded seamless, and the innkeeper didn't think much of it, even if Bill tried to violate the rules of the Holy See, he wouldn't stop it.

Compared to the innkeeper, the proprietress did not have the indifference and calmness of the boss, and she suddenly fell into deep thought, and the tangle in her eyes made her seem to want to refute something.

She didn't show her heart, because Bill saw a deep fear behind the struggle and entanglement.

Bill's confidence in the woman's message began to wane, and he suddenly got up and sat down at the counter, talking to the proprietress and the boss up close.

"Hannah, I don't know what indelible impact that time will have on you, I remember that our family still lived a light life, managing this little inn, only at that time the Holy See inspected the rooms more often. ”

The innkeeper suddenly hugged the lady's slender waist and made an affectionate gesture in front of Bill, as if he was really worried about the lady's mood.

He doesn't like a woman who is surrounded by gloom every day to be his wife.

"My dear, you won't understand, the methods of the Ode Holy See to screen and capture witches on a large scale are not friendly, sorry, I shouldn't have secretly spoken ill of the Holy See......"

"You know, even if we know that there is such a thing as a witch, witches are still the main cause of disaster, and witches will use women's blood to become beautiful, so those beautiful women have become the primary target of the cultists' investigations. ”

"So after a period of arrest, the beautiful women were in a state of panic, and I even remember that during that time, my mother hated being complimented on her beauty. ”

"Oh great and all-powerful God, I beg your forgiveness for my foolish deeds and words, my dear husband, and forgive me for the disrespect I have just given to the Holy See ...... Oude."

The proprietress held her hands in front of her chest and prayed in the direction of the sun, Bill had never been in the church, and he didn't know what the god in her mouth looked like.

"Since there really is a mysterious power in this world, maybe God also exists, but the Holy See is really the spokesman of God, can he communicate with God?"

Thinking about diverging, Bill struggled to pull back the naughty big dick, and he also tried to pull back the nervous proprietress who was the innkeeper to hug her first.

"My dear Hannah, what's wrong with you, there's no outsider in the room, you don't have to ...... like this"

"What the hell is going on, O great and all-powerful God, why did I never know that such an unreasonable thing was happening around us, are you sure that it was the work of the Holy See of Oude?"

"If what you say is true, then why don't these women ......"

Just as the innkeeper hugged the hostess tightly and patted her trembling shoulder comfortingly, Hannah jerked him away......

"Hey, Hannah, what are you doing!"

"You men will never know why women should depend on men to survive, because women have nothing but a womb that can conceive!"

Hannah gritted her teeth and wrenched herself from her boss's arms, walked past the counter and headed straight for the door, glaring back fiercely as she left the dimly lit inn.

"And those ugly and ignorant ugly bastards who only respect men, the jealousy of beautiful women, like I ate cheese that has been left for three years, is disgusting!"

"Hehe, what percentage of the so-called beautiful women are in this world ruled by stupidity, who can hear what they say?"

The bright sunlight reflected on half of her white face, reflecting the brilliance of masonry, but the other half was so gloomy that the innkeeper couldn't even make out the expression on her face.

From this angle, only Bill could see her smiling face, as well as the unwillingness in her eyes.

She disappeared into the sun before the shocked innkeeper reacted, and lost her whereabouts forever, but at this moment the owner didn't know that he had lost his wife.

He thought that Hannah was just nervous, and that she would come back when she calmed down and figured it out, and he had already figured out how to punish the woman who came back after running away from home, and he had learned a lot about the tricks in bed anyway.

It's just that Hannah refuses to try many new and interesting games that make the boss emotional, and the boss thinks that women will fall in love with it after trying it, and even can't extricate themselves.

Looking at the back of Hannah leaving, the innkeeper smiled awkwardly at Bill, after all, such a faux pas happened in front of the guests, and he was unable to discipline him.

"Sorry for the joke, Hannah had never been like this before, and I don't know how she suddenly became like this. ”

"No, it's all my fault, probably the past I want to know brings back a past she doesn't want to remember, I shouldn't let others lick their wounds for my own selfishness. ”

Bill sighed and saw a few clean-wiped bottles on the wine rack behind the innkeeper, all of them spirits, while the innkeeper looked up at his watch again.

There is still half an hour before Bill's deposit is deducted.

"Guest, this has nothing to do with you, women are like that, Hannah has been in contact with many women before, either crying every day, or yelling all day long, which upsets me. ”

"Speaking of which, this woman was picked up from the garbage street when I went out on a trip, and I also saw that she had no problems with other women, and she married her because she looked good, but I didn't expect her to be a virtue with them, and after two years of good life, she played with me, and I didn't know how to be grateful at all. ”

The innkeeper sends off the shoulder,

"In today's society, how can there be a man as kind as me, don't look at my hotel, it's not big, and it takes a lot of money to open a hotel in Monte City. ”

"Tony from the barbershop next door had found a woman about his worth to marry, even though I hadn't seen her pockmarked face again after meeting her once at their wedding. ”

However, her family is in the leather business, and although she only hires a few old women to make leather bags by hand, in a place like Ceylon, which is suitable for tourism and vacation, handicrafts with traditional regional characteristics are a good project to make money. ”

The innkeeper became talkative when he was fully conscious, turned and took out the high-end wine, which shook it in front of Bill's eyes, the bubbles rising rapidly through the brown bottle in the dim sunlight.

"Guest, would you like to have a glass of white wine, a local specialty of Ceylon, which has been in the cellar for two years, and I have only put it on the shelf two days before. ”

"Have a drink, too, and when I'm in for a treat, I don't want to be like a lonely bard who sits in the corner drinking and singing. ”

He took out a gold pound and slapped it on the table, and two clean goblets appeared in front of Bill, as well as a hand that took the gold pound for change.

The innkeeper happily uncorked the oak and expertly poured the liquor into the glass, Bill didn't care what his purpose was, even if the woman was gone, he could continue to get other perspectives from the man.

"Okay guest, forgive me for complaining to you just now, I was also angry with that woman who didn't know what to do, you also saw what her attitude was towards me just now, do you still have a bunch of questions to ask?"

"There are indeed some questions, I just have a general understanding, in the witch hunting period you have experienced, how many witches were caught and burned by the Holy See, have you seen that scene with your own eyes?"

Taking a sip of the innkeeper's mouthful, Bill couldn't help frowning, this is not the taste of high-end white wine, it is an obvious fake.

"That's why the middle-aged man in front of me took a small sip slowly, but if I questioned him, I would be told that it was a specialty of Ceylon, right?"

"There is no effective regulatory body in this world, and my proposal to the institute has not yet been implemented, so even if I call the police, I can't protect my rights and interests. 」

Put down the goblet and smile indescribably.

"What a strange taste, is this the white wine made from your native grapes in Ceylon?"

"Guest, you're probably the first time you've tasted it, so you're not used to it, this white wine is good for your health, I still have a few bottles here, you can also take it home and try it for your friends and family." ”

“...... I'd better think about it again, I still have a long journey ahead of me, and carrying a few bottles of wine will add to the burden. ”

"Oh, that's a shame. ”

The innkeeper took a large sip of the inferior wine in disappointment, and the alcohol was so spicy that Bill dared to believe that the white wine was not blended with industrial alcohol.

Repeating the question, Bill loses patience with the peddler of counterfeit liquor, but he finally answers and looks at the huge bronze mechanical clock behind him again.

"I don't know how many witches in the world have been caught, but the Witch Hunter Guild was also ambushed outside the city that time, so I heard that almost no witches escaped. ”

"In the whole of Ceylon, there were probably hundreds of women who were burned to death, and I was not allowed to go to the square to watch the public execution, and I heard that the women were not allowed to watch the public execution, and we only saw the final burning at the stake. ”

"By the way, I heard the adults say that the most exciting part of the public execution was to get the witches to confess where their partners were hiding and what their names were......"

"The screams of the witches came from the square, and the sound was special, hehe, so special that it was exciting!"

The innkeeper suddenly had a somewhat maniacal smile on his face, and he was glad that he remembered what had happened, and remembered another kind of joy.

It was the sickly joy of hearing the women scream!

Bill looked at the innkeeper's distorted face, his pale face full of indifference.
